The Humboldt Fire Department received a night of appreciation from the local Filipino community.

Fire Chief Mike Kwasnica says they felt humbled by the gesture.

"We don't do this for recognition, we don't do it for any reason other than the fact we love to help people, and that's what all the guys on the fire department are there for."

The department was treated to some great food, song and speeches, and each member went home with a card of thanks.
